Next-generation driving-assistance technology
realizes safer and more convenient transportation
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) today unveiled its
EMIRAI 4 concept car featuring next-generation driving-assistance
technology, which is expected to help reduce traffic accidents and
contribute to increasingly safe, convenient and environmentally
friendly transportation. The EMIRAI 4 will be exhibited during 45th
Tokyo Motor Show 2017 at the Tokyo Big Sight exhibition complex
from October 27 to November 5.
Under the theme of “Feeling with you; convenient, safe and
comfortable for each one”, development of the new concept car has
drawn on three specific fields of research: electrification,
autonomous driving, and connected. The EMIRAI 4 features
next-generation driving-assistance technologies such as human
machine interface (HMI), driver sensing and lighting system. HMI
innovations incorporated in the EMIRAI 4 design include:
- Heads-up display with augmented
reality: augmented reality, using high-accuracy locator combined
with high-accuracy 3D mapping and positioning technology,
emphasizes road and white lane displayed on heads-up display to
guide drivers safely even in bad weather and other low-visibility
conditions.
- Knob-on-display: an intuitive sliding
knob enables drivers to operate various functions without taking
their eyes off the road. Functions accessible via the sliding knob
can be easily amended and consolidated into specified groupings,
helping to simplify the center interior.
- Crossed images display: a half mirror
with diagonal LCD panel and vertical virtual image from another LCD
panel provide clear 3D images of the environment around the vehicle
and easy-to-see alerts in the form of vertical images.
Driver Sensing
A wide-angle interior camera monitors both the driver and the
front passenger by detecting the passengers’ heads and postures to
alert potentially dangerous driving behavior and provides safe and
smooth switchover between automated to manual driving. This system
also provides comfort for each one by changing air conditioning
settings, etc.
